Journalist, professor and author of Born in Blackness: Africa, Africans, and the Making of the Modern World, 1471 to the Second World War, Howard W. French, spent ten years researching the book: ‘With Born in Blackness, what I have done is rewrite many of the standard narratives attached to the way the West has told the story of modernity. This was the central challenge in this project for me, to be able to do this in a very rigorous and yet highly readable way.’
